About Me

Hi there, my name is Sadie Holman. I want to share my knowledge about automotive diagnostic procedures. Modern vehicles use a network of electronic sensors and parts to run everything from the fuel system to transmission. This network relays information directly to the onboard computer. Technicians must locate the dongle for the computer and hook up a scanner to diagnose part failures. I will discuss this procedure in more detail and share fault code information that leads to a sure diagnosis. I will also explore past ways of diagnosing automotive problems concerning carburetors and other mechanical systems. The information on this site should come in handy the next time your car starts acting up. Thank you for visiting.
